If you want a "bullet-proof" application, you need to distribute in one
package three things:
1) wxWidgets;
2) Perl knowing of the above;
3) your application.
Now, under Linux wxWidgets means wxGTK, i.e. you also need full gtk+2.*
stack in your package.
Perl since 5.10.0 can be built as relocatable executable (with all the
modules relocatable too), and I'm widely using it.
I am also routinely building wxGTK (as well as wxX11), but I do not build
wxPerl since its build system was too quirky at the time - this easily
convinced me to use gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net .
